Alaskan Montanan Washingtonian, planning first African Hunt
Hello all, greetings from Eastern Washington! My father and I are finally getting serious about hunting where we've always dreamed. I was born in Alaska and grew up in Montana, and my father and I have hunted from Jackrabbits to Moose (not to mention scads of ducks and upland birds) in both places. My bedtime stories as a boy were from Alexander Lake and Africa became the place of my imagination. I've now been to South Africa twice (once with my father) on academic and mission trips, but I've not hunted there. Unfortunately, my father was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and we realized that we can't keep putting this off forever, so we're doing our homework and checking out our options.
Right now we're thinking primarily about Zimbabwe or Namibia, largely due to affordability. Dad doesn't really care if he shoots anything, but just would love to be out on a hunt and do a little wingshooting. I'd like to do some plains game and maybe a buff if the budget allows.
I'm also very interested in Burkina Faso, a country that has always held my imagination, largely because of the culture (doesn't every kid dream about Burkina Faso? ). It seems like a reasonably affordable place to hunt as well, so I'm going to look into it some more. I'd love to hear about anyone's experience there. Uganda would be a dream come true, but seems far too expensive.
If anyone has any recommendations or considerations, I'd love to hear them. We want a good hunt in open country, nothing handed to us on a platter and have no need for extravagant luxury. On the other hand, dad isn't as young as he once was (alas!) so while he can still hike and work, a Cameroon Jungle hunt isn't really it either (maybe for me someday!).
Greetings and thanks!

You might want to look at two countries hunt if you want to bird hunt. Big game in Zimbabwe and bird shooting in South Africa. During the short time i spent in the grassland area of South Africa, i saw more birds than one could hope to shoot.I have walked in the tracks of the elephant, heard the lion roar and met the buffalo on his terms. I shall never be the same.

Hi Nick
I am new to this forum as well. I guess you get swamped with request and offerings right now. The best way to start is probably South Africa or Namibia and go from there. West Africa and in particular Burkina is a bit "dicy" at times but apart from that it's fine hunting.

Are you referring to political stability? If so, Burkina Faso is one of the more stable countries in West Africa. Other than a border dispute with Mali in 1985 hat was over in a few days, I'm not aware of any fighting there.

SAULT STE. MARIE - They split in head-to-head action during the season, but the Negaunee High School basketball Miners have claimed the No. 1 Class ABC ranking over the Marquette Senior High School Redmen.
NHS (19-1), whose only loss came to MSHS, 59-43, on Dec. 13, picked up all five top votes by a select group of five voters from the Upper Peninsula Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association.
That gave coach Mike O'Donnell's Miners - who beat MSHS 55-35 on Feb. 14 - 25 points to 19 for coach Brad Nelson's Redmen (16-3) in the final poll of the season.

The Gwinn Modeltowners of coach Darren Sinnaeve (14-6) placed in a tie with Kingsford (14-5) for fourth. Both picked up seven points.
In Class D, Cedarville (19-1) was a unanimous pick at No. 1 with 25 points.
Coach Dan Waterman's Munising Mustangs (16-4) collected three points for an honorable mention spot.
In the final Associated Press statewide poll for Class C boys, Negaunee finished at No. 3 behind Flint's Hamady and Beecher.
In the AP Class D poll, Munising and Superior Central both received votes, but are unranked.

DistilledLive Catch Up: Responsive Web Design
Last Monday, our Seattle office held a meet up about responsive design. We were lucky enough to get Matt Fordham, technical director at Wintr, to explain the fundamentals behind responsive design itself, and I made my argument for why responsive is so great for SEO. If you aren't lucky enough to live in Seattle (or just weren't able to make it Monday night), we've got all the details here.
The Case for Building Good Mobile Sites
I'm not going to start building the case for mobile in general, because most of you already have mobile sites. Most of you had mobile sites in 2010. The problem is, a lot of companies have bad mobile sites.
Mobile isn't something you can keep neglecting. 50% of teens and 45% of young adults access the internet primarily through their phones already1, and that number is only going to grow as phones get cheaper and better.

Kingmana: Let's say you have a Shoutmon and Ballistamon. If you have them both in your Party then no problem you will be able to DigiXros with ease. Apr 15, 2014 19:14:35 GMT -3
Kingmana: But what if you want to have the Ballistamon in your farm? Well you would be able to do that and still DigiXros if you have the Desmefsi Xros Ring, though as stated, both Digimon have to equip it. Apr 15, 2014 19:15:09 GMT -3
DramonFire: oh, that makes sence :p Apr 15, 2014 19:15:19 GMT -3
Kingmana: It also works to DigiXros with other people's Digimon if they accept. For example, I am going to make a DigiXros with Andrei, so we both are going to obtain it. Apr 15, 2014 19:15:43 GMT -3
Kingmana: Hope that helps. Apr 15, 2014 19:15:45 GMT -3
Kingmana: I am so curious to see what you guys will grab, uhmmm.... Apr 15, 2014 19:21:40 GMT -3
DramonFire: Already made my post is there any way to obtain Hearts btw, I'm like two short to buying another Desmefsi Xros Ring xp Apr 15, 2014 19:27:02 GMT -3 *
Kingmana: Yeah, sadly the time to obtain Hearts has ended. I made it clear that you could only obtain those during the Valentines event. Apr 15, 2014 19:34:36 GMT -3
Kingmana: I also gave a few to those that did nice roleplays. And even gifted you 10 for being new. Can't really do much more without being unfair with others. Apr 15, 2014 19:35:07 GMT -3
Kingmana: And got to go, english classes now, let's see what the others will do. Apr 15, 2014 19:35:46 GMT -3
Kingmana: And eh, try to use all of your hearts, Dramon. You are not going to be able to use them anywhere else. You should also try to consider seeing with whom are you going to use the rings with. After all, those were meant mainly for two users who are friends. Apr 15, 2014 19:37:55 GMT -3
Tehrag: I knew you said the update was going to be big but I didn't know it would be that big. Apr 15, 2014 19:39:21 GMT -3
DramonFire: Oh, didn't see that, I modified my post Apr 15, 2014 19:50:11 GMT -3
Tehrag: So, I'm assuming this means that there will be other weapons we can obtain in the future? Apr 15, 2014 19:57:08 GMT -3
Tehrag: I want to know before I decide what to purchase in the love shop. Apr 15, 2014 19:59:50 GMT -3
DramonFire: good night everyone! Apr 15, 2014 20:38:54 GMT -3
Kingmana: Yes, Tehrag, all kinds. Actually you can already obtain a few. The Special Zones of each of the Eight Areas hold different kinds of weapons. Apr 15, 2014 21:36:01 GMT -3
Kingmana: You can find more information in the last mission set we have, the one about the zones. Apr 15, 2014 21:36:23 GMT -3
Kingmana: Though, the weapons you can purchase in the shop will only be obtainable there. They are special on their own, stronger than the normal items you can obtain in the wild, but weaker than the ones I'll add in the future. Apr 15, 2014 21:37:10 GMT -3
Tehrag: Ok, then I think I have made my choice for the most part Apr 15, 2014 22:17:17 GMT -3

Recipe by smbassref
"These roll-ups are simply divine. A friend shared the recipe after serving them at a church brunch, where they disappeared fast. They make a unique finger food, a side dish at supper, or a lovely lunch served with soup."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

8 slices
thick fresh asparagus spears
lemon, juiced
16 slices
multi-grain bread, crusts removed
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons
minced fresh chives
1/4 cup
butter, melted
3 tablespoons
grated Parmesan cheese
I made this recipe to go along with stuffed manicotti noodles but made a few changes. Instead of sliced bread I used refrigerated bread stick dough and forgot to add the butter and parmesan cheese on top. Was flavorful, but a little dry, I had left over cream cheese mixture, so next time I will go heavier.
Similar to a recipe I've made but skipped the parmesan and added one small container of blue cheese. Great party pleaser.
6 Ratings
I made these according to the recipe - using whole grain bread, which worked great. I think the addition of some blue cheese to the cream cheese mixture would be awesome. They are a little fussy to make and if I were making them for a large group I would use my pasta roller to flatten the bread and then probably cut the bread in half. They were pretty filling and although tasty they are more of a side dish than a appetizer as written. There is no need to blanch the asparagus. 10 minutes at 400 - 425 perfect and you will have tender but not mushy asparagus.
Great recipe. I used refrigerator crescent rolls instead of bread. And added cheddar cheese. Very yummy!
Delicious. My family does not care for veggies, but they loved this recipe. I will definitely make this again. We used crescent rolls that one of the reviews mentioned. It was nice and buttery.

Sports world won't be the same without Sir Alex Ferguson
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson announced his retirement on Wednesday, ending a legendary career that included 13 English league titles, five FA Cups and two UEFA Champions League trophies over 26 seasons at England's most successful club. Five thoughts on the end of an era:
• There will never be another manager like him. Ferguson, 71, stayed in charge at United for 26 years in a high-pressure environment that spits out fired coaches like the shells of sunflower seeds. Consider that Pep Guardiola felt the need to take a sabbatical year after just four seasons in charge of Barcelona. Ferguson leaves the game as one of the greatest managers in the history of sports, right up there with Vince Lombardi, Phil Jackson and John Wooden, if you're looking for U.S. comparisons.
• The timing seems right. Ferguson announced that he was planning to retire a decade ago but reconsidered and later called it one of the best decisions of his career. Now, however, the timing makes sense. Ferguson just won his 13th English top-flight title with United, and his health is starting to deteriorate. (He has hip surgery scheduled for August.) Hindsight is always 20/20, but I wondered if something was up when the retirement rumors started spreading on Tuesday. In March I had met in New York with Ferguson's son, Jason, to discuss writing a long magazine feature on his father. They seemed interested in participating at the time, but in recent weeks a response had not come, causing me to wonder.
• Ferguson happens to be a charming interview. I interviewed him twice: once in a sitdown setting in Manchester, in 2003, and once in a phone interview for a story on José Mourinho in 2010. Ferguson had a fascination with certain aspects of American culture, including the Civil War (he had spent time in the past with Civil War historian James McPherson) and, of all things, John Wayne films. "I've got all the Duke's movies," Ferguson told me in '03. "I always pictured John Wayne as a man you could bring on if you needed a last-minute goal. Know what I mean? He's a battler. Always winning every fight, every shootout."
• In essence, Ferguson became Man United. It's hard to imagine modern-day Manchester United without Sir Alex Ferguson. During an era when players seemed to have the power, sometimes earning far more money than their coaches, Ferguson always stayed in charge. And if anyone challenged that authority, he had no problem shipping out big names. "I never have a problem with egos," Ferguson told me. "You know why? Because you have to win. You can't escape the field. And if the money has affected them, they have to go. Easiest decision ever made."
• Is this the day soccer says good-bye to the old school? For Ferguson, a taskmaster raised in the shipyards of Glasgow, old school wasn't a marketing catchphrase. It was standard operating procedure. A few years ago he read When Pride Still Mattered, David Maraniss' biography of Vince Lombardi. "I saw myself," Ferguson explained to me. "Obsession. Commitment. Fanaticism. It was all there." Everyone could see it. For 26 years, Sir Alex Ferguson ruled Manchester United. The sports world won't be the same without him.

The 2006 graduate of Jacksonville High School had certainly made the most of her six years while at the Capstone, receiving an undergraduate degree in International Relations and Spanish, and then a Masters degree in Applied Linguistics/TESOL.
Caroline had also found the time to travel, both on her own and with the college, "visiting Gaudi Park in Barcelona, experiencing a Holy Week in Guatemala, watching the sunrise from Machu Picchu, eating pizza in Napoli, crossing the Atacama Desert and standing in front of Iguacu Falls."
Despite all of the education and the traveling, Nabors decided that she was still looking for something. "Peace Corps crossed my mind and seemed like a possible solution," said Nabors, who had thought about joining after she completed her undergraduate but went on to complete her Masters degree. After much contemplation Nabors decided that the Peace Corps, with its 27-month obligation was the thing for her to do. "I found the solution to my restlessness in my mailbox last July, (2012) an invitation to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Nicaragua, "said Caroline.
Caroline reports that she was unprepared for how different her experience would be. She was assigned to serve in an isolated region of the country that is radically different than other regions. "I live on the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua, in a city called Bluefields," reports Caroline. "There are five different ethnic groups living in the city and a beautiful mix of languages and people that spread throughout the 17 neighborhoods. This is my absolute favorite thing about living here. Bluefields is an isolated melting pot RICH with culture."
Caroline mentioned a few random facts about Bluefield, like all food is made of coconuts; coconut oil, coconut milk in soup/rice and beans, shredded coconut candy and homemade coconut bread that is hot and fresh everyday.
There are no roads to Bluefields. Caroline said that from the capitol you can get a five hour bus to a town called Rama and from there you have to take a wooden boat (panga) for an hour and a half to reach Bluefields.
The British and Americans originally developed the region. In the course of five minutes you might hear Creole, Spanish and Miskito all spoken by the same person.
Bluefields is known for the extreme amount of rain it gets throughout the year and most people only have access to well or rain water.
The two favorite pastimes in Bluefields are baseball and dominoes.
Caroline lives in Bluefields with a Creole family in the neighborhood of Cotton Tree (Creole) or Punta Fria (Spanish). In the house a mixture of Creole and Spanish is spoken. Caroline explains this saying, "Creole is similar to English, but has a colorful attitude and vocabulary that cannot be matched."
Not many luxuries are available to Caroline as she takes a bucket bath every morning before heading off to teach at the high school or university.
"The smallest class at our high school has 52 students and the majority of classes are multi-level. Creole and Miskito students can usually understand more English than Mestizo (Spanish speaking) students, but that does not make them any stronger in reading, writing or speaking.
"It is a very challenging classroom environment plagued by constant interruptions or cancellations and a serious lack of resources."
Despite all of the hardships and difficulties in teaching due to the lack of resources, Caroline says that in all the chaos she found her real reason to be serving in the Peace Corps. "I am a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) volunteer in Bluefields. All TEFA volunteers co-plan and co-teach with Nicaraguan teachers. This is why I accepted the position.
Teaching English abroad is a touchy subject in many countries and I never wanted to feel like I was forcing English on anyone. For me, Peace Corps has been the key to sharing what I know with isolated communities who really want English teachers/English teacher trainers.
"I am not just a random foreigner that arrived to teach and then leave after two years. I am a co-teacher and friend to four excellent Nicaraguan teachers that will use our classroom experience to build stronger English language foundations in the future."
Caroline teaches 7th, 8th and 11th grade high school and students preparing to be English teachers at URACCAN University in Bluefields. She also has been involved in several camps, teacher training workshops and TEFL conferences around the country. "I am always impressed by the motivation and ingenuity of English teachers in my site and in all Nicaragua."
While Caroline works daily to help improve education in Nicaragua, her parents, Greg and Nila, anxiously wait to hear from her, not on the phone but on Skype and Facebook.
Nila is impressed and proud with what her daughter has accomplished. "Being a mom of a Peace Corps volunteer fills me with a wide range of emotions; pride, anxiety, worry, stress, but at the end of the day pride always wins out. To have a daughter that loves people like Caroline does and has a servant's heart makes my heart feel full. When the world came calling, she answered the call," said Nila.
For Greg, seeing his daughter leave was a hard task to deal with. "September 4, 2012 was a pretty tough day for this dad. It was extremely hard to say goodbye to a daughter and not know exactly when you would get to see her again. However, as the days went by and her conversations became full of excitement in what she and the other volunteers were doing, I became more at ease and at peace with the whole situation. I am very proud of her for her willingness to stand up and step out to serve."
Caroline has not forgotten her University of Alabama roots. Working as a counselor for the embassy sponsored ACCESS English Camp Caroline spent a week working with students from all over Nicaragua practicing English and participating in cultural activities.
Each student was assigned to a state team. Caroline's team was Alabama. "As a graduate of the University of Alabama and an obnoxious football fan, I was thrilled to make our team cheer, "Roll Tide Roll." On the last day of camp, Alabama won their 15th national championship. Nothing can ease your nostalgia for home like 40 ecstatic Nicaraguan students screaming "ROLL TIDE ROLL"...by far one of my favorite moments in the country."
Having Caroline and other Peace Corps volunteers in Nicaragua is probably one of the best memories that the children will also have.

I always use this during the mastering in Logic. It makes the sound a little more transparent. Again very "gentle" settings.
Good EQ. Tried the demo version.
Strangely enough, in most cases I went for the Pultec and/or the Cambridge during the mastering process.
So I decided to do without it for the time being. But I will remain open to change my view.
I think this question is really dependent on the material of your daily work in your sound studio.
Having said this, I am really happy to say: With the UAD-1 card I got the most natural EQ I have ever heard: THE PULTEC. It helped me find perfect solutions for vocals, gitars and symphonic instruments.
Together with the 1176, the Fairchild and the Teletronix, all of which you can normally use far more than ONCE (I am just making myself clear what luxury I have been given), you get a huge contribution to a better sound for so ridiculously few money.
Very well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you did it again fantastic
great for mastering to get that final something
I'm liking The Precision EQ for subtle and clean adjustments, mostly on program material. It does a lot very well, with a minimal CPU hit. Loving it.
I use this as a master eq. It works quite well. Very sensitive.
Great tool, most transparent EQ in my opinion. Love it for adding "air" and widening to my mixes. Use it on every project!
I like Precision serise..
Also..Preset is good!!
Well, what can I say that everyone haven't said... You all know how incredible this plug-in is. So, I will try to say something focused on my perspective, maybe to help new buyers to have a more clear mental image about this plug.in.
I think this EQ has its own "personality" even though It is pretty transparent...
Like its name says, it is a PRECISSION plug-in, so its work is very accurate and first of all it is ment to be a MASTERING plug-in, and anyone that has mastered before knows that a MASTERING plug-in MUST BE ACCURATE, because the tweakings that you have to do sometimes are complicated and you MUST have a precission tool like this one. Just as a surgeon SHOULDN'T use a regular knife to make a cut on his patient, neither should we :D
I have been assembling a Mastering system which involves all of the precision plug-ins (except for the Multi-band comp because I have the MOTU version) . I have become fascinated by the 20-27k range. It clearly has an effect on the program, but not one of "brightness" more one of "air". It is very useful. I am going to purchase another card so I can use instances of it on every track without overloading the computer. Super easy to use. Another home run by UAD.
I am sure that Precision eq is ideal for use on overhead. Using plug-in (in demo mode) on the overheads, I was surprised how well the sound of my drums now. The next day I bought this plugin! Try using it on Oh, I think you'll like it as I do!
From Russia with love :) Happy new year! UAD - you're the best!!!
The Precision eq is very nice and easy to use. It has a nice character. It's really great for those muddy frequencies that u want to get rid of.
yesterday i tried it on a drum beat that had too much high frequencies around 4 to 6 Khz. I found this eq to be very subtle but also vey effective. Compared to the Cambridge eq this eq has a bit more character. i wouldn't use it to dial out one particular frequency, but instead to fit instrumentents in the mix without destroying the sound.
It's also great for final subtle changes (if u need em) in the mastering process.
I think i like it better than the Pulltec, but perhaps that not a fair comparison. This is a very good eq for a particular task , making things fit!!
i use to have it in my older computer...........so i could not live without it in my new..............sounds great.........no extreme settings.........and the job is done......
Great quality and musicality. I'm waiting for some new presets from famous users and some quick 30-60 second video tips for each plugin.
It will be great as well to read or watch about some GREAT UAD FX CHAINS,
like LA2+1776LN.
Maybe we can start with VOCAL DANCE UAD FX CHAIN, for example:
LA2+1776LN+EP34+Plate 140
I love my UAD plugins but I feel that I use only about 20-30% of its POWER.
Greatings from Poland,
My eq. What a sound! I have a Chandler EMI Curve Bender which is a simple but POWERFUL eq, this one looks to me a bit similar in his conception. Few touches, a great musical eq sound.
Masters, tracks, instruments, good on everything.
All I ask for is a HI cut (i need to put a Cambridge EQ in the chain just for that).
Then it's perfect.
very trasnparent eq as its name says precision eq, very good for that last shape to the mixes, a must for the mastering chain
A little sterile sounding, but extremely accurate and precise. A good workhorse EQ to use on any type of track.
Wonderful EQ for digital or hybrid mastering. That "half db in just the right spot" really works with this one.
The quick EQ that does no harm to your mix. If you need a touch of air in your mix, a little brilliance, here is it. Same goes for an uplift on the bass line to make it more audilble but not drown the mix. I insert it on 50% of my mixes on the master sum.
Great musical EQ. It's all you need in a mastering chain to tweak. It does what you would expect, but really well and is completely transparent.

From Homestar Runner's conception by two University of Georgia students working summer jobs in 1996, to his reception with video game publishers Telltale Games in 2008, Homestar Runner certainly hasn't come very far in the past twelve years.
That is to say, going from an episodic internet flash comic to an episodic video game download is such a natural transition as to leave only one question lingering in the air: "What took so long?" Perhaps the pieces have only just now fallen into place, and whatever other trappings of serendipity one may subscribe to, but it's no doubt that homestarrunner.com has reached a success that's nearly on par with Penny Arcade. Minus the whole PAX business. Nonetheless, Mike Chapman and his younger brother Matt ("The Brothers Chaps") have something to be proud of in their newest venture, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People - Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner.
While the jovial, marshmallow-like Homestar Runner is arguably the star of the show, it's the harsh-voiced luchador boxer Strong Bad perpetuating the adventures from week to week. True to form, the episode begins with Strong Bad answering a viewer-written email, asking why Strong Bad doesn't "beat the snot" out of Homestar Runner. Spurring him to action, Strong Bad opts out of beating Homestar in any conventional manner, and decides to beat him at the "Free Country USA Tri-Annual Race to the End of the Race."
The point-and-click adventure takes Strong Bad from his raggedy-couched basement to a dozen recognizable locations in the webcomic: Bubs' Stand, the Track, Marzipan's, Strong Badia, and King of Town Castle; not to mention quirky objects that have accumulated over the years like the Cool Car, the Whale, the Stick, and the Brick Wall. Those all sound completely innocuous on paper, of course, but it's what Strong Bad does with those objects and locations that spell out the off-kilter humor populating SBCG4AP. And, without spoiling too much, plenty of the webcomics subliminally hint at events transpiring game-wide.
Since Strong Bad can't help himself, he stirs up plenty raucous during the Race to the End of the Race, but finds himself screaming "Irony!" into the sky as his antics catch up to him in unexpected ways. He then -- still purely motivated by self-interest -- has to find ways to reverse his presumably ill fortune, but he does it in an expectedly Strong Bad way. There's no morality tale here (unless you're overreaching), but the story arc, one that I thought wouldn't emerge as I was laying down my
first impressions
, made for a surprisingly cohesive adventure. In the rather unpredictable way that a Strong Bad comic can pull off.
The gameplay engages different paces throughout, which is a difficult feat to execute the right way in an adventure game. In the beginning, it's all about opening up the map and -- in an homage to the hand-drawn maps required of old school adventure games -- has Strong Bad penciling in the spots he'll be repeatedly visiting throughout. The equator of the gameplay circles about the obstacle course race and, believe it or not, a stealth-action segment, which nudges the game into a simplified platformer. Don't read too much into that statement: Strong Bad's Cool Game doesn't suddenly slip into Super Mario Galaxy land. But it's a well-timed change of pace that replaces some of the early game's confused wandering. The clues are too obtuse at first, especially if you're looking for a particular green light to forward the game's progress, and Strong Bad only tosses out a cookie that points to a vague but already-understood concept in the storyline. The final chapter comes down to heavy interaction with the rest of the cast, where the components are fewer, but a timing-based nature is perpetuated from (if you remember) the stealth action from earlier.
There are two places where Strong Bad's Cool Game doesn't go, and those two places are often dead ends for adventure games: inventory puzzles and, for a lack of better terms, Myst puzzles (this lever does this, that lever does that). There are moments where maybe two items are required to accomplish a task, but they're placed in context on the game screen, not shuffled around and jury-rigged inside of the inventory menu itself. Thank you, Telltale Games. Critics and players have been lamenting this outmoded relic of adventure gameplay for years, and too many developers still cling to that painful conceit.
That second place where Strong Bad's Cool Game doesn't go -- the puzzle puzzles -- isn't an outmoded relic, but is often enough where players are sent, head-hung and defeated, to the internet for a walkthrough. Puzzle puzzles are tricky, and not just for players. They're tricky for developers to implement creatively and meaningfully. And it's not that Telltale isn't capable of that creativity and that meaning, but they likely intuited that those types of puzzles are incongruous with the Strong Bad universe, and that here, in the Homestar Ruiner episode, it would only bottleneck the movement of a whimsical title that's more about its off-its-rocker humor and goofy-stacked-on-goofy scripting.
There are a couple mini-games tucked inside of episode 1 that make themselves worth revisiting: the 8-bit Snake Boxer V -- of which, Strong Bad searches far and wide to replace the needlessly-long game manual to a game that features top-down, uh, snake boxing -- and Strong Bad's own in-episode comic he draws himself, "Teen Girl Squad." Which is as awkward as it sounds, but eventually makes sense for the often socially-clueless and comically-mischievous Strong Bad.
All said and done, Telltale and The Brothers Chaps have accomplished more in this webcomic-to-game release than I thought possible. It runs a bit dense compared to the short-attention-span-theater that informs the weekly dot-com's efforts, but the game never seeks to overwhelm or smoke out its players. In doing so, it's told a fuller-length tale than Strong Bad's average visitor will be used to listening in on, but there's no arguing that it isn't faithful to the source material. I wouldn't categorize this next statement with naysaying, but it's still not possible to completely shelve all doubts about how much cohesion will dovetail an entire five-episode season of SBCG4AP, though insider joke linkage is inevitable. But they've already surprised one reviewer with this first episode. They're now one for one.

Deena by Coloriffics Style Deena 5 5
Low heel Sandals These are beautiful and comfortable. The first pair I ordered in 8 W because my tennis shoes, I wear them wide. They were too big by the toe area. I had no problems returning them, received my refund in no time. I reordered in 8 M and they are perfect. I am wearing with a black dress as the mother of the bride. Love the lower heel, and gorgeous and comfortable. I will get allot of use out of these. A great price also. Love them for sure. February 14, 2014
not disappointed I got these to wear for my 25th anniversary and they are so comfy! They are classy and just the right heel height, even for one who has to use a cane. These are a keeper!!! June 28, 2013
Cute and Comfortable These were are great buy. Very comfortable for an outdoor Texas wedding. However while practicing our dance for the reception they were not the most stable of shoes but I will definately wear them for our ceremony. October 5, 2011
great wedding shoes I bought these for my "mother of the groom" shoes. They look more expensive than they are, fit perfectly, and have a non-slippery sole (very important to me!). I was pleased with this purchase in every way. The heel height is perfect; I am already 5'8" and didn't want to tower over everyone. I'm also not comfortable on stiletto heels. These fit my needs in every way. July 12, 2011

If you're worried about someone accessing your Facebook account from a different iPhone, iPad, or computer browser, you can enable a few security settings to set your mind at ease. Code Generator can give you access codes right on your iPhone and iPad so you can approve different devices and browsers as you see fit.
Here's how:
Before continuing, you'll need to make sure that Login Approvals are turned On for your Facebook account. You'll most likely need to do this via a desktop computer or the full version of the site via Safari on your iPhone or iPad. You can find Login Approvals under the Security Settings section of Facebook.
After you've done that, continue on.
That's all there is to it. Code Generator is great for times you may not have cell service but can access WiFi from one of your already authorized devices. Facebook will always send you a text authorization code to whatever cell phone number you have on file but if for some reason you can't access it, Code Generator will do the trick too.
Wow Thank You I Diden Even Know That thank You. You Guys Are The Best
Sent from the iMore App
Very good information to have. I regularly check my privacy settings on Facebook, as I don't trust them. Anything that adds security to FB is a good thing.
Great info and thanks for sharing as usual...
The odd thing is that Code Generator can be bypassed by using the post to Facebook function in notification center. At least it has never asked me for a code when I've used that method that I remember.
How did you get your facebook icon like that?

- You can send a letter with your updated information, so long as you sign it; or
- You can update your address when requesting an absentee ballot on the Absentee Ballot Request Form by completing the appropriate part of the form.
Whatever you choose to do, send it to us by mail, fax, or scan it in and send it as an e-mail attachment, but it must show your signature.
If you have never registered to vote in Virginia before and are filing an initial voter registration application, you must send in an original form; digital or faxed copies are not acceptable.
Do I have to show ID or provide any documentation to register to vote?
No. (You may have to show ID when you vote, but not when you register.)
How do I know that you processed my registration or updated by address or name?
You will receive a voter information card in the mail. Also, you can check your voter registration status online, or by using the Fairfax County mobile app available soon in the App Store and Android Market, or at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/voterinfo.
Are there deadlines for registering to vote?
YES. To vote in an election, you must register at least 22 days prior to the election. (The last day to register to vote in the November 4, 2014 general election is October 14th.)
Applications sent by the U.S. Postal Service are considered on time if postmarked on or before the deadline, even if they arrive after the deadline. Applications dropped off in person or sent by a commercial delivery service must arrive at the office on or before the deadline.
If you return your voter registration application after that deadline, you may not vote in the upcoming election, but you will be allowed to vote in subsequent elections.
If you are a military or overseas voter [see below], as different deadlines may apply.
Where can I register to vote?
You can register to vote in-person at the Fairfax County Office of Elections, 12000 Government Center Parkway #323, Fairfax, VA.
You can also register in-person or get forms at a number of state or local offices, such as the following:

Yes. Although, the initial voter registration application must have an original signature, the Office accepts digital or faxed copies of address or name changes.

Virginia law requires you to provide your full name, gender, date of birth, social security number (if you have one), your citizenship, your residence address, whether you have ever been convicted of a felony, whether a court has ever adjudicated you incapacitated, and your signature. Failure to answer completely will require us to deny the application.
Your social security number, as with the other required information, is mandatory. The Privacy Act of 1974 allows state governments to require a social security number if the state had been requiring them prior to 1975; Virginia's requirement for a social security number dates back to 1971. Even though you must provide your social security number, your social security number is confidential and we will never share it with the public.
How do I register with a political party or indicate my political party affiliation?
You don't. Virginia does not register voters by party.

Travis Leslie's Dunk of the Year
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
And with that, all I can say is, "Welcome to SEC Basketball, DeMarcus Cousins. It won't be as easy as you think." Travis Leslie's dunk was so vicious, it left a crowd of about 24,000 in stunned silence. Well, except for all the "oohing and ahhing" going on on. I mean, what else can you say if you're a Kentucky fan? We'll get you next time? Perhaps "sign my poster, please, Mr Leslie" is more appropriate. Granted, the Wildcats scraped by the Bulldogs, but it wasn't easy. In fact, Team John Wall trailed at halftime and only had a two-point lead with less than a minute left in the game.
To say the Bulldogs, who already have wins against Georgia Tech and Illinois, are better than expected — they were picked last in the SEC East — is a little bit of understatement. Just ask DeMarcus Cousins what he thinks of the Dawgs, especially the one who goes by "Travis Leslie." While they didn't pull the upset off, it wasn't for a lack of effort, especially for Leslie.
Besides his eye-popping dunk, Leslie led the Bulldogs with 20 points as they fell just short of shocking Kentucky and the rest of the college basketball world.

Hmm..the American patriots don't seem to be the enemy in ACIII so it doesn't make much sense for the Spanish Empire to be the enemy in this one since they were allied to the Americans during the revolution..
However if that's the direction they're taking this game in then I assume the main Templar enemy would have to be Alejandro Oreilly because he was the Spanish governor of Louisiana that crushed the rebellion this game takes place in.
But on a deeper level who is this main character defending? The French? I doubt she'd rather be under French rule since they had Louisiana in worse shape. If she's fighting for freedom then why would she work with the rebellion that aimed to restore French Imperial rule to the colony...not freedom...either way I'm interested in finding out when it's released! :)

On 8 November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines, affecting about 14 million people. Three months on, despite a huge national and international effort, the poorest coconut farmers, traders and fisherpeople are being left out of the recovery effort.
We have dispatched a team of experts on the ground in the Philippines today after typhoon Haiyan (local name: Yolanda) hit on 8 November to assess the water, public health and sanitation conditions of those affected.
One million people are still in urgent need of food, water and sanitation as refugees fear returning home.
Four months of violence, looting and displacement have created a humanitarian crisis which will take months and perhaps years to ease Oxfam said today.
In the six months since the devastating floods hit Pakistan, with the help of generous public donations, Oxfam has helped almost 1.9 million people.

text: Beauty Kristen Stewart: Hair Style File 25 March 2013 Lisa Niven WITH her hair in brunette waves, Kristen Stewart is instantly recognisable as Bella Swan - her character in the wildly popular Twilight film franchise. However, one glance at her red carpet hair history demonstrates her willingness to experiment with different styles - from blonde curls to side plaits and ponytails, via a series of chic up-dos. Never afraid to pair a designer dress with mussed-up hair, the actress has found her signature look in tousled waves offset by smoky eye make-up, whilst slick chignons are complemented by red or pink lipstick and well-groomed brows. Here, we take a closer look at some of the actress' most memorable hairstyles from throughout her career.

story & photo
by Anne Pappalardo
June 5th through 8th, visitors flocked to Willimantic's 10th Annual Victorian Days. Presented by the Willimantic Victorian Neighborhood Association, events included home tours, horse-drawn wagon rides, a Titanic exhibit, a lantern tour of three bridges, a cemetery tour, and numerous other activities.
Visitors to Willimantic are impressed by the high concentration and classic design of the homes in the Hill section that rivals those in San Francisco. The Willimantic Victorian Neighborhood Association earned recognition for the area on the National Register of Historic Places and obtained non-profit status.
As visitors walked the streets, they were transported to a more genteel era. They encountered the clip-clop of horse-drawn carriage tours, and ladies mincing down side streets in gauzy dresses with large hats and delicate parasols. Dapper men sporting straw hats and canes directed visitors to their destinations.
The main feature of the weekend was the tour of 16 magnificent Victorian homes in the area. Homeowners and docents accompanied visitors through the homes while recounting the history of each house, its families, and renovations.
Other events included a Model T Ford exhibition, a Victorian tea, Victorian garden tours, a Victorian architecture slide show, a lawn concert, and a "Third Class Bash" – a party that encouraged attendees to "participate in the rowdiness of third class with food, music, and notable Titanic passengers." Period dress was encouraged.
Robert Horrocks, president of the association, said, "With more than 600 homes designated by the National Register as contributing to the architectural styles of Willimantic, the community is quickly becoming a tourist destination. The addition of the Visitor's Center at the Windham Textile and History Museum has made information for tourists readily available. Victorian Days in Willimantic was started by a few homeowners who wanted to share their insight into the restoration and preservation of their Victorian style homes."
The association serves to educate the public in the preservation and promotion of the history, architecture, and character of Victorian Willimantic.
The members of the association share their love, and even passion, for their community and produce a monthly newsletter with a focus on neighbors and craftsmen who work on old homes. For more information on the annual event or the Willimantic Victorian Neighborhood Association, visit www.victorianwillimantic.org.

Skylable SX is a reliable, powerful, fully distributed cluster solution for your data storage needs. It can aggregate the disk space available on multiple servers and merge it into a single storage system. The cluster makes sure that your data is always replicated over multiple nodes (the exact number of copies is defined by the sysadmin) and synchronized. It has built-in support for deduplication, client-side encryption, on-the-fly compression, and much more.
Capstone is a disassembly framework with the target of becoming the ultimate disasm engine for binary analysis and reversing in the security community. Running on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Solaris, it can disassemble ARM, ARM64 (ARMv8), MIPS, PPC, and x86 architectures. Capstone provides rich details about disassembled instructions along with useful semantic information.
debcheckroot is a tool that retrieves file checksums online or from read only media. It provides trusted verification of your root file system at least as far as you can trust your Internet connection or your verification medium (DVD, BD, etc.). Unlike debsums, it doesn't rely on locally stored md5sums which can be modified by an attacker along with the files themselves. It also provides cleaner and better structured output, and can spot files added to your system by someone else.
OpenADK is a construction kit for embedded Linux. It creates Linux systems that are optimized for size and short bootup times. The toolchain supports many architectures (arm, m68k, mips, microblaze, ppc, sparc, superh, x86, and x86_64). It can build customized images for Qemu. Raspberry PI, Lemote Yeelong, and Sharp Zaurus devices are supported as a proof of concept. Approximately 685 source packages are available.
uncsv is a filter command converting the lines of a CSV file into a non‐escaped, non‐quoted delimited file (pipe by default). csv is the opposite of this command; it takes an un-quoted stream of values, separated by the delimiter of your choice (default: pipe '|') and produces a "standard" CSV file. Both tools avoid end‐of‐line character politics and will leave these untouched.
vimpc is a curses-based client for the Music Player Daemon (mpd) that draws inspiraton from vi/vim. It supports a vim-like rc file, mappable key bindings, normal/ex modes, counts, searching, a music library, directory navigation, playlist editing, and comprehensive help, is highly configurable and customizable, and more. It is written with the intent to make vi users feel at home when using mpd, but is also intuitive and very usable by non-vi users.
wsh allows you to execute commands on multiple machines in parallel. It is secure and fast, and even outperforms ansible. It works by having an agent live on the machine. When you run wshc, it sshes and execs wshd and sends commands over the encrypted channel. wshd executes the commands and sends the results back.

For his second exhibition at Bugada & Cargnel gallery, Nick Darmstaedter (born in 1988 in Los Angeles, lives and works in New York) takes a look at the ultra-contemporary aspect of electronic spamming through a new series of oil and silkscreen paintings. The exhibition explores the notions of readymade and reappropriation, a thread that weaves through much of the artist's work, questioning the aesthetic aspect of the most mundane contemporary productions. The title of the exhibition, Fuddruckers, is borrowed from an American fast food chain that tends to compensate for the lack of quality by quantity, just like spams. This reference immediately sets the show in an ambiguous relationship to a form of culture that is both massive and personal, despised and popular, oriented towards efficiency more than aesthetics, while possessing a certain beauty.

Flavio Favelli and Paolo Chiasera "Air Zaire" at Galleria Francesca Minini, Milan
April 19~2014
"What emptiness here / In my place. / All anxiety consumed. / Nothing remains of me / If not the source / Which it did not indicate."
Karl Kraus
Hassan Khan at Kodak Passageway, Cairo
April 19~2014
This exhibition will present the first major survey of artist Hassan Khan's work to be held in Egypt. While internationally celebrated, including a recent nomination for the Hugo Boss prize, and an early influence in Cairo's independent art and music scene, the artist has never before presented such a large number of works in Egypt. Khan premiered his artwork in Cairo in 1995, and this show will feature a selection of his works from the mid 90s to the present day.
Paul Cowan "http:/youtu.be/7e0F5Y2mjqo" at Jonathan Viner Gallery, London
April 18~2014
In the front gallery the walls have been repainted with an appropriately titled, "bananadream 1″; common latex paint infused with a vetiver essential oil, implicating the paint to perform in a way beyond its standard capabilities. An conceal that simultaneously reveals, an interest in nearly all of the materials used in Cowan's work.
Andrew Norman Wilson (feat. Nick Bastis), Olivia Erlanger "Material Uncertainty" at Fluxia, Milan

Whitney Biennial 2014, New York – Second Floor
April 17~2014
If the Whitney Biennial is a snapshot of American art at this moment, and if any intimate encounter with American art at this moment must be mediated (as all intimacies these days are), then Marcel Breuer's museum building here at 945 Madison Avenue is a well-disposed mediation for capturing twenty-four scenes of America. In assembling the artistsand groups I tried to answer a question of Breuer's from his notes on the building: "What should a museum look like, a museum in Manhattan?"
Whitney Biennial 2014, New York – Third Floor
April 17~2014
How to define "American" in a survey of contemporary American art, especially one with as much history behind it as the Whitney Biennial, is a question that has often challenged, even vexed, curators. As an American who has spent much of the last thirteen years in the United Kingdom, I have been compelled by artists whose work is as hybrid as the significant global, environmental, and technological shifts reshaping the United States.
Whitney Biennial 2014, New York – Fourth Floor
April 17~2014
Although it may be far-reaching to think that a Whitney Biennial could be organized as a curriculum for other artists, aiming at pedagogy seemed a worthy ambition. Not because I am an artist and a teacher, nor because I sought to create a democratic survey, but because I didn't want the frame that the viewer will look through to be a purely subjective take on contemporary American art.
Jean-Luc Blanc "faux-roman visage" at Galerie Art:Concept, Paris
April 17~2014
On occasion of his eighth personal exhibition at Art Concept, Jean Luc Blanc presents a new series of drawings and paintings. When talking about this artist, who has been shaking up the French art-scene for the last 20 years, it is difficult to get off the beaten tracks and avoid quoting his own sources of inspiration. We remember his 2009 "Opera Rock" exhibition at the CAPC-Bordeaux with pleasure, as an unusual retrospective in which he took the liberty of surrounding himself with his artist-friends. Generous, faithful, alternative, bizarre, this collector-at- heart definitely is a well-rounded individual, but do we really know him?
Martin Kersels "Olympus" at Galerie Vallois, Paris
April 16~2014
At the beginning of the 1990s, Martin Kersels experimented with his body. As an active member of the group SHRIMPS (with Pam Casey, Gail Gonzalez, Steven Nagler, Ryan Hill and Weba Garretson), he performed a series of familiar and simple gestures: holding, throwing, falling, kissing, cadencing, rocking; performances that oscillated between radicality and the absurd, both transpiring through the photographs taken during the performance. Simultaneously, he developed a 3-dimensional work guided by movement. Inspired by objects and the body language of daily life, Martin Kersels builds not only staged spaces where body and machine interact, but also animated sculptures producing incongruous actions and sounds. The bizarre dimension of his work is only a facade, his plastic work is in fact underpinned by a conceptual and critical reflexion on our relations to the world and society. The constant discussion between bodies, space, and the object is an integral part of his practice.
Lara Schnitger at Stuart Shave/Modern Art, London
April 16~2014
Stuart Shave/Modern Art is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Lara Schnitger. This is the third solo show of the Los Angeles-based Dutch-born artist with the gallery. Schnitger's signature works – sculptures, paintings and banners made of fabric – are brought together in this exhibition with the artist's recently launched line of clothing Sister of Arp.
Pae White "…and then you know what?" at kaufmann repetto, Milan
April 15~2014
kaufmann repetto is delighted to announce Pae White's fifth solo exhibition at the gallery. Continuing in her exploration of diverse materials, techniques and media, …and then you know what? presents two site-specific installations along with a large scale sculptural work that reconfigure the gallery's architecture, while playing with themes of tradition and history.
Hommage à Philippe Thomas at MAMCO, Geneva
April 15~2014
Mamco presents a retrospective of work by the French artist Philippe Thomas (1951-1995), some of whose work is part of the museum collection. Displayed on all four floors of the building, it is divided into three sequences.
Paulina Ołowska "The Spell of Warsaw" at Zachęta – National Gallery of Art, Warsaw
April 14~2014
The largest Polish presentation of Paulina Ołowska's work to date, the exhibition shows both its thematic diversity and the various working methods employed by the artist. It features works of painting, sculpture, stage design, installation, neon light, assemblage, drawing, collage, textile, as well as a new installation, created specially for the exhibition: a fashion store with a collection by the brand Clemens en August. In her practice, Ołowska explores the issue of liaisons between the historical avant-garde and the present, creating a melange of arts: high-brow with applied and popular. She is preoccupied with contemporariness and topicality, which she confronts with utopian visions from the past, encouraging the viewer to reflect on forgotten aesthetics and ideologies.
Jos de Gruyter & Harald Thys "Das Wunder des Lebens" at Kunsthalle Wien
April 14~2014
For some years Belgian artists Jos de Gruyter and Harald Thys have been present on the wider stage of the international art scene. They have been producing a unique epic-absurd theatre consisting of video works, photography series and sculptural installations. In February 2014 they will present "Das Wunder des Lebens" (The Miracle of Life), their first large solo show in Austria. Its main element is a large-scale installation which the artists describe as following: "We think of the big exhibition space as a place of stillness. You can only hear the noise of the water plashing from the fountain and you can see 400 (silent) drawings. There are no colours in the exhibition. Only black and white".
"Far and High" at Fahrenheit, Los Angeles
April 13~2014
Far and High is the inaugural group exhibition at FAHRENHEIT — an interrelated residency program and space dedicated to exhibitions, performances, film programs and talks, initiated by FLAX (France Los Angeles Exchange) and developed by director and curator Martha Kirszenbaum.
Ceal Floyer at Lisson Gallery, Milan and Museion, Bolzano
April 13~2014
Ceal Floyer tests, teases and skirts around the boundaries of what art can or should be in her first exhibition at Lisson Gallery in Milan, which coincides with a major presentation of her works at Museion in nearby Bolzano. Floyer's 2008 work, Taking a Line for a Walk, in which a machine that creates the white lines on sports fields is driven around and takes its title from Paul Klee's assertion in the introduction to his Pedagogical Sketchbook of 1923 that a drawing should be: "An active line on a walk, moving freely, without goal. A walk for walk's sake" Floyer's own meandering line through space – a performance and a sculpture, as much as a drawing – will be recreated throughout the galleries, drawing visitors downstairs. A rectangular swathe of grass in the garden, entitled Greener Grass (2014), will indeed – as the old saying goes – seem brighter than its counterpart in nature and more vivid than real life.
Stan Douglas "Synthetic Pictures" at Presentation House Gallery, Vancouver
April 12~2014
This exhibition features new photographic works by acclaimed Vancouver artist Stan Douglas. Through synthetic and artificially constructed processes Douglas manipulates new camera devices to produce pictures without a lens. Responding to the wide circulation of immaterial images in digital culture the artist reveals an acute awareness of the social impact of media and optical technologies.

212 College St, San Antonio, TX | Directions 7820529.425735 -98.489188
Mon-Thurs 8pm-2am
Fri-Sat 8pm-4am
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Central San Antonio
Stay away from this tourist trap! – This place is not worth the money for the Jersey Shore atmosphere they are trying to portray. Credit card was taken at the door and given to the bartender. Got our drinks, sat down and was rudely informed if we weren't buying a $549 of Patron "you need to get out of here". Wow. Bar down the Riverwalk told us that place is a tourist trap and none of the locals go there.
Awesome, Awesome, AWESOME!!! – I've always had a great time here. The music was great and the staff knows how to help you have a great time. I danced so much the next day i felt like i was working out all night. I've been here at least four times and have had a great time every time. If you open a tab they do make you sign a paper promising to pay $100 but thats only in case you leave without paying, this gives them permission to use your card for your tab but only if you dont pay.
Good Time – I've been to Acapulco Sam's a few times. The music was good, drinks were good and location was good.....definitely will go back
Not worth it!!! – I went to this place for a friends birthday. The roof was leaking from several diffrerent areas and thats because we were on the second floor. The floor was so wet I almost fell on my ass. My toes were so wet it was disgusting. Not to mention my $200 shoes. They need to shut down and start over.
Had Lots of fun! – Went here on a recent visit to San Antonio. Had a great time. The atmosphere was great and I met some fun people. The bartenders were really nice too. Highly recommended!
BE CAREFUL! STAY AWAY! – These people will tell you you can only open a tab with a minimum $100.00 limit, but then they charge you 100.00 whether you spend it or not. Also, when we left, they called the Park Police simply becuase I gave them a hard time about the 100.00 minimum charge and that's another story.....stay away from this place!

Well, I have completed my round of BFL. I ran into some set back..so I thought, but I pushed on through them. Around the 3rd week I noticed that everytime I did the treadmill, my right ankle would swell up and then be painfull the rest of the day. So, I changed my cardio to things like Tabata, swimming, Eliptical(sp?), bike riding, and walking long distance. Anything that did not require running...lol. I started this program at 172. Mind you this is coming off of another great program. My start weight in this transformation began at 184 and has been as low as 149. I am solid at 170 now. So I lost another 2 pounds. My 36in waist pants and shorts fall off my butt, and my 34's are wanting to slide down there too...lol...my butt keeps them up...lol. I have increased my lifting weights in all areas. From shoulders at an increase of 5lbs per arm to chest of starting and ending weights all up 10lbs, so I am very happy with my results. Since I found an Leg extension for my Bowflex, my legs increased another 1/2" in size in just 6 weeks.
People, just folow the book the way it is written and you will see results by the end of your journey, but don't let it end there. I am now on another 12 week journey to increase size all around and see if I can not get my butt into 32's by the end of the yr...lol... I started with a 40 3 yrs ago...so yes my journey is a slow one, but do not let that get you down...enjoy it!!! It is so awesome to buy new clothes every yr...lmao
Tis better to look UP in the mirror to be inspired than to look DOWN at the scale and lose your desire!! - SEM
WOw, Great work and accomplishments squid, Way to GO sound like you did terrific on this one and kudos for sticking with the program again.
Thanks Bill... Like I have said in an older post. I am not in this to compete, I am in this to live. My Grandfather had a heart attack and died the yr I was born...he was under 60. My dad had a bad surgery incident and passed away 3 weeks away from his 59th birthday. This is Body for Life for me!! It is so sad when I walk down the street and I see KIDS, from 16 - 25, who should be doing things I can not, in worse shape than me. On a good note, tis nice to know I am in better shape than most 20 somethings...lol
Yay Squid! Very cool and way to go pushing through! *doublehighfive*
thanks :D
